Last week Kelly had her 35 week check with the mid-wife, and everything was fine as usual. The baby is still 2/5 engaged, so hasn’t moved any lower since the last checkup. From now on, the checks will be done every two weeks, unless something changes, in which case, it will be weekly at the most. Not very long to go now!!
Hi all,
Thought it may be a bit of fun for everyone to try and guess whether the baby will be a boy or a girl, how heavy it will be and what the due date will be. We currently don’t know if it will be a boy or girl, obviously don’t know the weight but the due date is meant to be the 22nd September.
To submit your guess, just add a comment to this post!
Have fun!
Its now into week 34 of the pregnancy, so we have measured Kelly’s belly again. It is now 43 inches, which means it is 3 inches bigger than when it was last measured at the beginning of May. That is about an 8 cm increase.
During our holiday (well, my holiday as Kelly is on maternity leave now!) we sorted out the baby’s room. Was a bit of a nightmare as we first had to take down the bunk beds and sort out everything that was dumped in the room. Most of the stuff went up into the attic, which was great, although one of the matresses doesn’t fit through the gap to the attic. Not sure what we are going to do with it at the moment!
We spent the best part of two days putting up the cotbed, chest of drawers, shelves and pictures on the walls, not to mention sorting through all the baby gear that we have got and putting it all away. It was all worth it in the end though, as the room looks fantastic now!
Here are some pictures of the room -
Kelly started her maternity leave on Friday 25th July. The previous Tuesday, Kelly went out for a leaving meal with people from the Future Inn. They went to a pasta bar on the Barbican for a meal, which was apparently very nice.
She had a couple of presents from co-workers, one of which was a cake shaped tower of baby goodies including nappies, soap, shampoo, bibs and much more. It was very impressive, and thanks go to Jan for giving us this present for the baby.

On her final day they also had a bit of a do in her work place, and more presents were handed out including a £40 Mothercare gift voucher! (We have spent this now on linen for the cot and the Moses basket) Apparently lots of good food including Strawberries, Chocolate Cake and other goodies were eaten. Sounds like a very nice time to me!!
